With the thoughtful guidance and strong support of the Luojiang District Federation of Trade Unions, the Zhongzhi Labor Union actively responded to the initiative and carefully organized a cultural wellness retreat for employees. This journey led us through the rich cultural heritage of Putian, a city renowned as the “Home of Literature and Scholarship.”
Following the traces of its thousand-year history, we began our journey at Jiulihu Lake, where cascading waterfalls and breathtaking landscapes showcased the harmonious blend of nature and culture. We immersed ourselves in the tranquil atmosphere of Guanghua Temple, experiencing the profound wisdom and serenity accumulated through centuries. Along Xinghua Ancient Street, we explored vibrant local traditions and authentic folk customs hidden within its lively alleys and historic architecture. At the Agarwood Museum, we appreciated the elegance and fragrance of agarwood while discovering the craftsmanship and cultural legacy preserved through generations.
From the dazzling spectacle of the traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage performance “Molten Iron Fireworks” to the dynamic teamwork and innovation witnessed at the Budweiser Brewery, every step of the journey offered meaningful encounters with tradition, culture, and collective spirit.
With waterfalls flowing like melodies and emerald pools reflecting the surrounding mountains, Jiulihu Lake offered the perfect setting to relax, recharge, and immerse ourselves in the poetic beauty and legends of nature.
A single step across centuries, a single glance through millennia. Through fascinating artifacts and immersive exhibitions, we explored the cultural legacy of Putian and uncovered the stories that have shaped this historic city.
As scissors danced across red paper, intangible cultural heritage came alive at our fingertips. Against the warm glow of the ancient street, traditional paper-cutting transformed history into a living art form. In that moment, tradition was no longer a distant memory but something tangible, warm, and deeply meaningful.
Boarding a small boat, we embarked on a dreamlike journey through a world of light and reflection. With the water serving as a canvas and the night sky as a stage, we experienced the romance and enchantment of the entire island.
As molten iron burst into dazzling showers of sparks across the night sky, we found ourselves immersed in the breathtaking beauty of this centuries-old intangible cultural heritage performance.
From malt to hops, from production line to glass, we gained firsthand insight into the brewing process. More than visitors, we became “craftsmen for a day,” experiencing the passion and precision behind every product. Here's to a journey filled with industrial innovation, sparkling moments, and shared laughter.
Crossing the temple gates, the noise of the outside world gradually faded away. Amid the rhythm of ancient bells and chanting, we admired the timeless pagoda that has stood watch for centuries and rediscovered moments of inner peace and clarity.
At the China Xianyou Agarwood Museum, we explored the fascinating process through which agarwood develops its precious fragrance. We admired exquisite incense burners from different dynasties and experienced the refined aroma of agarwood, often referred to as “liquid gold.”
Each fragrance carries the memory of centuries. Preserved here are not only precious materials but also the stories, traditions, and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Employees also enjoyed a hands-on agarwood crafting experience, shaping agarwood clay into unique handmade creations. Surrounded by its calming fragrance, we slowed down, focused on the present moment, and transformed cultural appreciation into meaningful keepsakes to take home.
From magnificent natural landscapes to profound cultural heritage, from bustling streets filled with local life to dazzling modern visual experiences, from contemporary industry to ancient spiritual traditions, this journey offered far more than memorable travel experiences.
It also vividly demonstrated the Labor Union’s commitment to employee well-being and its dedication to creating a caring and supportive workplace.
We look forward to traveling together again and sharing another wonderful journey in the future.
